Fantastic Career

ASHINGTON, Apr. 11—Lioyd V. Berkner should probably be called “Mr. Twentieth Century.” He is the fantastic guy who has been named by Secretary of State Dean Acheson to direct the new foreign military assistance program under the North Atlantic

as there is around Washington. What was needed for this job was a first-class brain and a lot of savvy. Mr. Berkner filled the

bill

Last year Mr, Berkner headed a special committee for Defense Secretary James V. Forrestal. Its task was to make a special evaluation of the relative importance of planes, carriers, rockets, bazookas, boobytraps and all other weapons of modern war. It was part of the big Army-Navy-Air Force unification fight. Berkner had done such an outstanding job on that committee and as executive secretary of the armed forces’ Joint Research and Development Board that he was a natural for the new inter-

national job.

UNIONS . . . By Fred W. Perkins Labor’s Big Business

WASHINGTON, Apr. 11-—A Dennie Lewis, who ran the taxi strike in New York City, in a younger brother of John L. Lewis, and one of a dozen family connections on the pay roll of the United Mine Workers. : Dennie Lewis’ salary several years ago was reported to be $12,000 a year; it may have been raised since. With the fifty grand that Jonh lL. now gets, the Lewis family and connections are to draw around $150,000 a year from this big and °

FIVE other family connections in more minor union positions have been reported in published articles on which United Mine Worker officials refuse to comment.
